The staff at The Log Cabin was very accommodating and seated us in front of their beautiful fireplace in the dining room. The menu is loaded with so many seafood options, the majority of which are done in the traditional style (broiled, baked, fried) and all of it was appetizing when reading the descriptions in the menu. Everything we got was great! Everyone loved their dishes. It was plated beautifully and was obviously made using very fresh seafood and other ingredients. We loved the food so much that we'll most definitely return for a date night and for future special dinners. I hope they continue to be successful and stay around another 84 years!

Under new management straight from New York, the place delivers that fast-paced, friendly NYC spirit, complete with speedy service and waitresses who make you feel like family the moment you walk in. The restaraunt is handicap accessible and offers three tables of outdoor seating perfect for those summer days when you want to catch the sun and breeze all at once. With 10 large screen TVs scattered throughout, including five right over the bar, there's plenty of sports action to keep you entertained. An as a special treat football Sundays bring all day happy hour, so you can kick back sip, save, and see sports. The restrooms are clean and include a baby changing station for the little ones. They even have lighted mirrors over the sink but, spoiler alert, those lights don't work, so bring your own glow if you want to touch up...lol. Feeling lucky? There are three slot machines to test your good fortune. oh yeah, the food, the salad was so fresh I thought I died and came back as a rabbit.. The crabcake was spot-on, more crab than batter, golden and perfectly cooked. I got adventurous with a mango lemonade blended with mango iced tea, which was straight-up tropical magic in a glass but cost me a dollar up charge for getting fruity. Now, the mac & cheese? It had a strong boxed mac vibe, nostalgic but not quite my jam since I started making over minimum wage. Shoutout to the staff for offering to swap it out immediately, but since it was nothing really wrong with it besides the fact that I don't like box, mac & cheese, I stayed the course (no harm done). Non-lunch hour menu prices run from $12 to $48, offering a large variety of food, options. The lunchtime menu mostly cost around $10, with a few $14 items thrown in, perfect for a satisfying midday break without breaking the bank. Extra points for weekday deals: Happy Hour hits Monday through Friday, 3 PM to 6 PM, ideal for those early evening wind-downs. Plus, lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM, so Girlfriend's is ready whether you want a quick bite or a relaxed meal. All in all, this taphouse puts a tasty and lively spin on a beloved local spot, and I'm definitely coming back for more of that mango magic and of course a different side dish.

I was disappointed at the quality of the food. I had high hopes for it as other reviewers had gave…read morethe food high ratings. The seafood gumbo was served in a small container that included some chicken, the skinniest, small leg of a blue crab that had no meat in it. The sausage was not regular sausage but a tiny dried out sausage. Besides the small leg of crab the only other seafood was half of a shrimp that was cut into 2 pieces. Yes 1/2 of shrimp and that's it. The small container is 12 oz and they charged 16.99 for it. Wayyy to over priced for what you get. The flavor of the gumbo was nothing to rave about, tasted like canned gumbo. I wouldn't recommend. I also got a plate of empanadas that where not to my liking. The beef ones are made with ground beef, I'm used to actual meat pieces of shredded or cubed meat; first time getting ground beef. The flavor was not to my liking and again felt very canned food style. The chicken one was made with actual chicken pieces but had wayyy to much melted cheese inside that overpowered the whole empanada. If you're a cheese lover this might be up ur alley. The best thing about the plate where the sweet potato fries. The price was 13.99 I believe and u get 2 empanadas with sweet potato fries on the side. Overall not an enjoyable experience and I unfortunately had to dispose of the empanadas and only ate the sweet potato fries, and gumbo because I had nothing else for lunch after spending 30+ for everything and my lunch time was almost ending.

We decided to check out The Clubhouse at Aquia Harbor--but let's call it what it really is:…read moreBorinquen Bar and Grill, serving up legit Puerto Rican comfort food right in the area. Came in based on a friend's recommendation, and honestly...solid call. First thing: the food is authentic. If you're craving real island flavors without hopping on a plane, this spot delivers. I went straight for the classic: Pernil with Arroz con Gandules. Flavor was on point, tender, well-seasoned...though I'll admit, I was hoping for just a little piece of that crispy cuerito to take it from "wow" to "transported back to Abuela's kitchen." Now let me tell you what was ON FIRE: Mofongo with Camarones a la Criolla / al Ajillo -- absolutely the standout dish. The mofongo was packed with flavor, the shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the sauce brought everything together. Highly recommended if you come here...don't even think twice. The family started with appetizers--beef empanadas, mini alcapurrias, and croquetas de jamón--and those were definitely the highlights. Great taste overall. Visually, it looked like the oil might've been a bit on the older side (or maybe cooked a little too hot) since some items came out darker than expected...BUT the flavor still showed up. A couple things didn't fully hit: The Cuban sandwich wasn't bad, but the bread just wasn't quite right. Let's be real...Miami spoils us. Up here, Cuban bread is basically a unicorn. The vanilla flan was decent, but the custard texture was a little more firm/condensed than my personal preference. One note: they're still waiting on their liquor license, so no alcoholic drinks yet--but honestly, the food held its own. Prices are pretty standard restaurant range--about $15 per plate, so for a family of five you're looking at that mid-range dinner outing. And the best part? I wanted the Chuleta Kan Kan, but they had just sold the last one...so yeah...I'll definitely be back . If you're in the Aquia Harbor area and want Puerto Rican food that feels like the real deal, this is a great stop. The environment is small but allows for a good time with family and friends. There is outdoor seating available but currently too cold for that.

If his food and service is as good as his food truck, the new restaurant will be a must visit in the Aquia/Stafford/Dumfries area.

Captain's Log, Stardate 20260317…read more Today, I ventured into the culinary depths of Zibibbo 73 Trattoria Italiana & Bar, and let me tell you, it was an experience that boldly went where few dining adventures have gone before. As I stepped through the door, I felt as though I had transported directly to the heart of Italy, with the decorations and ambiance setting the stage for an epicurean odyssey. I ordered the lasagna with Bolognese sauce, and it arrived like a perfectly executed maneuver from the finest starship. The layers were rich and harmonious, each bite bursting with flavor that transported my taste buds to another galaxy. The Bolognese sauce was a glorious fusion of robust meat and savory herbs, creating a star-studded performance that left me craving more. Paired with fresh, crusty bread, it was a meal fit for a captain returning from an interstellar journey. The service at Zibibbo 73 was comparable to the most esteemed crew aboard the USS Enterprise. Attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, the staff ensured that my experience was nothing short of stellar, always ready to answer questions and make recommendations, much like a trusted first officer. In conclusion, my mission to Zibibbo 73 Trattoria Italiana & Bar was a resounding success, leaving me impressed and fulfilled. This dining establishment stands as a beacon of culinary excellence, offering dishes that not only nourish the body but uplift the spirit. End log. Captain 619
